I'm getting more curious about Melbourne... (travel)
Has anyone here been to both Toronto and Melbourne and can compare the two?
Toronto is very unlike Mel. Toronto has the urban sprawl going for it.
MEL feels more intimate as a city and feels like it has more cultural offerings. Its more like Montreal, IMO. There should be plenty of people talking about Melbourne on C-D.
I was happy to leave Toronto. My love of MEL has never abated.

Me neither, so much so that I'm going there this weekend. Bliss!!

I've never been to Montreal either...
I have the idea that "...Toronto is one of the best examples of what a big city is..." and it doesn't thrill me.
What I'm concerned with is cultural attitudes, rather than arcitecture and infrastructure.
Is that what you meant as Melbourne "feels more intimate" than Toronto?
Word, that makes sense. I should probably go to community college culinary school, graduate, get the working holiday.. then see how it goes.. Man, I had no idea how much stuff has to be done to move countries lol. I honestly gotta get out of the US though.
When I was 18 I really wanted to move to Australia and still do want to live more down there. However at that age, most 18 years olds are pretty clueless about the world's realities, so I'd get your education here, go to Australia on the working holiday visa and if you really like it so much you can always go through the migration process.
Seems silly to spend thousands on permanently migrating when a working holiday visa is readily available for little hassle and expense by comparison. Get an education, get some skillz you can actually be employed with, enjoy a year down under and then go from there.
The Gold Coast is big enough for you to find work fairly easily, but if you want laid back head to Byron Bay or Northern NSW. Byron has a coupple of good clubs, lots of tourists, great surfing as you have a few choices of beaches depending on conditions. It is only 45min from the Gold Coast so you could do either.
